According to Fox Sports Cairns is the place to be if you want to see REAL action in the National Basketball League...

Security will be addressed at the Cairns Taipans' venue after a spectator was arrested for assaulting the team's mascot in an NBL round to remember.

And it continues,

Cairns mascot Joe Blake made most "play of the day" TV highlights for all the wrong reasons after cameras captured the incident with the spectator during the Taipans' 86-75 loss to West Sydney.

Riding a scooter court-side in a giant snake outfit, the mascot was tackled by a man who ran out from a corporate box, sparking fisticuffs that spilled into the crowd.

Bashing a man on a scooter in a giant snake suit. We've all thought about it at one time or another, it's just drunk Queenslanders that follow through.
